Prof. Piccard, physicist and engineer has ascended into the unknown in his stratospheric balloon and has descended into the depths of the ocean in his bathyscaphe. ‘Exploration has become the sport of scientists’, he declares. This book is primarily the story of the invention of the means to both ascend and descend into the unknown.
